Bradley
My knuckles hurt just looking at it.
The M2/M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle is and always will be one of my favorite vehicles in the Army. The combination of firepower and armor, its very shape called to me as a Private. I was lucky enough to be one of the first fire support guys to ever train on them and then helped to field them later when they were finally brought to the line in the First Cav.
In fact, I learned to drive and fire one of these behemoths before I even had a drivers license. Funny thing being a fresh faced 19 year old, power sliding around in an armored vehicle before I could even legally drive a car. Firing the 25mm on the range was one of the highlights of my time with the Cav, though breaking the gun down left plenty of marks on my hands to make sure I never forgot the pain of maintaining them.
Originally part of an alphabet project in college, it was a fun drawing to work on and like many other drawings of that time it gave me a lot of time to think about my experiences from the military and make some sense of it all.
